Domar & Hadur - Good Deeds

Domar, the shaman

Tall, lean and strong built half-orc, olive-green skin and long, dark green-ish hair worn in several thick braids. His pointed ears are decorated with bone and metal ornaments, and small bones and feathers are woven into his hair. His face is marked with dark tribal tattoos, amber-gold eyes. armor made of leather, pelt, bone jewelry and ritual pieces. carries a staff.

Domar is the quieter of the two brothers, a broad-shouldered half-orc shaman with an intense, watchful presence. He rarely speaks without thinking first, and he has an unsettling habit of noticing things people would rather keep hidden. He reads moods, body language, wounds and small inconsistencies almost instinctively. Years of spiritual training have taught him patience and made him more comfortable observing than acting, though his temper is still there beneath the surface. Unlike Hadur, Domar has already learned that brute force can solve a problem while creating three more. He'd rather understand what is actually wrong before deciding what to do about it. Unfortunately, his idea of "understanding" can involve staring at someone until they become deeply uncomfortable.

• Quiet, observant, and unsettlingly perceptive.
• Doesn't talk much unless he has something worth saying.
• Notices things other people miss: a nervous glance, an old bruise, someone's hesitation when they mention money.
• Has a tendency to stare at people a little too long while figuring them out.
• His spirituality makes him take the task seriously. A good deed isn't about being nice. It's about deliberately helping someone when there is nothing in it for him.
• He's also the brother more likely to realize afterward that they've frightened someone.

Strengths

• Perceptive – notices small details, lies, discomfort and changes in people's behavior.
• Patient – willing to wait and observe rather than immediately act.
• Intuitive – often gets a strong sense that something is wrong before he can explain why.
• Spiritually grounded – takes his traditions and the purpose of their trial seriously.
• Protective – once he considers someone under his protection, abandoning them isn't really an option.
• Practical – prefers solutions that actually work over dramatic displays of strength.
• Self-controlled – much better at keeping his temper in check than Hadur.

Weaknesses

• Unsettling – his staring, blunt questions and intense presence make people nervous.
• Blunt – tact isn't necessarily his strong suit.
• Overconfident in his instincts – when he thinks he's figured someone out, convincing him otherwise can be difficult.
• Secretive – doesn't explain himself unless he sees a reason to.
• Judgmental – has little patience for cowardice, dishonesty or people refusing to take responsibility.
• Bad at ordinary kindness – he understands sacrifice and protection better than small social gestures.
• Can become obsessive – once he decides someone needs help, he has trouble letting the matter go.

Shaman Skills

• Spirit Communion – communicates with spirits of animals, ancestors and places.
• Spirit Reading – senses disturbances, lingering emotions or unnatural influences around people and locations.
• Rituals & Offerings – performs ceremonies for protection, healing, cleansing and guidance.
• Herbalism – knows medicinal plants, poisons and useful natural remedies.
• Healing – basic spiritual and herbal healing, particularly for wounds, exhaustion and illness.
• Animal Handling – comfortable around animals and capable of calming or reading them.
• Tracking – follows people or creatures through wilderness and difficult terrain.
• Weather Sense – unusually good at reading approaching weather and environmental changes.
• Totem Crafting – creates charms, fetishes and small protective objects.
• Divination – uses bones, smoke, dreams, spirits or other traditional methods to seek guidance.
• Survival – hunting, finding water, making shelter and navigating unfamiliar wilderness.
• Intimidation – not necessarily intentional; sometimes his sheer presence does the work for him.
• Medicine – treating injuries and recognizing illness without relying entirely on magic.

Hadur, the fighter

Hadur, massive and muscular, slightly darker green skin and long black hair braided into thick sections. geometric tribal markings, particularly across his forehead, cheeks and neck. Bone ornaments hang from his ears, large tooth-and-bone necklace. wears pieces of dark leather and metal armor over his shoulders and chest, martial appearance. golden eyes and stern expression make him look immediately intimidating. carries a twohanded sword.

Hadur is the larger, louder and more openly aggressive of the two brothers. A heavily built half-orc fighter, he has spent years turning himself into a weapon and has very little patience for problems that could, in his opinion, be solved with a sword. He is quick to anger, quick to act and usually has to be reminded that not every disagreement needs to become a fight. Despite his temper, Hadur isn't cruel. In fact, he's fiercely protective of the people he considers his own. Once someone has earned his loyalty, he will stand between them and practically anything without hesitation. He simply has a very limited understanding of the difference between protecting someone and deciding what is best for them. He genuinely wants to do good. He's just still figuring out how to do it without breaking something.

• Big, loud, physical and much easier to read.
• More impulsive and openly hotheaded.
• Genuinely enjoys fighting and has spent years turning himself into a weapon.
• Much more socially comfortable than Domar, but his idea of reassuring someone is terrible.
• "Don't worry. If anyone gives you trouble, I'll break their legs." Means this sincerely as comfort.
• Unfortunately, Hadur's solution to moral ambiguity is often: "Then we will make violence a solution."
• Gets increasingly annoyed when people refuse their help.
• Has absolutely no patience for social conventions getting in the way of the deed.

Strengths

• Fiercely loyal – once he gives someone his trust, he doesn't abandon them.
• Protective – instinctively puts himself between danger and others.
• Fearless – rarely hesitates when something dangerous needs confronting.
• Physically powerful – exceptionally strong, durable and well trained.
• Decisive – acts quickly when others are still debating what to do.
• Persistent – once he commits to something, getting him to quit is difficult.
• Straightforward – you rarely have to wonder what Hadur actually thinks.
• Courageous – willing to put himself in harm's way for someone else.

Weaknesses

• Hot-headed – anger gets the better of him easily.
• Impatient – hates waiting, investigating or discussing when he could already be doing something.
• Violent first instinct – his solution to many problems begins with "hit it."
• Terrible at subtlety – stealth, diplomacy and delicate situations are not his territory.
• Overprotective – can become controlling when he thinks someone is in danger.
• Stubborn – once he's decided something, changing his mind takes work.
• Easily provoked – insults toward himself are one thing; insults toward someone he protects are another matter entirely.
• Poor at reading social situations – he often doesn't realize how intimidating he is.

Fighter Skills

• Masterful melee combat – particularly axes, greatswords, spears or other heavy weapons.
• Two-handed weapon fighting – favors overwhelming force over finesse.
• Grappling – uses his size and strength to overpower opponents physically.
• Intimidation – very effective, whether intentional or not.
• Athletics – climbing, swimming, jumping, lifting and feats of raw strength.
• Battle instincts – quickly assesses immediate physical threats.
• Pain tolerance – accustomed to fighting through injuries.
• Close-quarters combat – especially dangerous when opponents get too close.
• Weapon maintenance – takes pride in keeping his weapons immaculate.
• Guarding – naturally good at protecting a person, doorway, camp or position.
• Battlefield awareness – knows where to stand and how to position himself between danger and someone vulnerable.

Relationship

• extremely close, but not particularly gentle. They grew up together, trained together, fought together and are now going through this final trial together. There ́s a lot of trust underneath a pretty constant stream of arguing.
• They know each other extremely well
• genuine affection. not voiced, but acted on - checking in with each other, having each others back
• Domar thinks before Hadur acts. Hadur acts before Domar has finished thinking.
• Hadur complains about Domar being too slow, too cautious or too cryptic.
• Domar complains about Hadur being an idiot who solves every problem with violence.
• Neither actually means it as seriously as it sounds.
• There's a very strong "I am allowed to insult my brother. You aren't." dynamic between them.
